Best Place For Dedicated Server?

I'm looking to purchase a dedicated server. I've been using one from hostgator but their support isn't the greatest and it has been giving me problems lately. I was thinking of purchasing one from pacific host found ere: http://www.pacifichost.com/dedicated-servers.shtml and I was looking at the extreme version. Basically I'm just looking for the most powerful server I can purchase from a company that has amazing support. What are you guys using currently, any recommendations?

mediatemple is a step up from cheap shared hosting plans. Might want to consider their (gs) before going full dedicated. I find them to be much, MUCH faster than hostgator or dreamhost ever was for me.

Case in point: I would open up all my blogs (about 30 tabs) all hosted on the same server at once to check stats.

When I was on hostgator, they would start timing out and only about 2 would ever load simultaneously (they would block the other 28 requests until the first 2 finished). This would take anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes, and frequently time out after that.

When I switched to mediatemple, they all loaded pretty much in under 5-10 seconds flat. No timeouts.

Just a thought. Speed matters and if you have concurrent users don't use crappy shared hosting.

One of my mates works for MikiPro ( http://mikipro.co.nz ), they deal in dedicated server sales & support and work with Webslice, HD, Orcon, etc... you might want to try contacting them and looking to get a dedicated server outright. It would be cheaper in the long run to host it as a colo, than to pay for a dedicated server owned by the datacentre in NZ.
